Unique Animal Encounters
SHARK CAGE ADVENTURE
For the adrenaline junkies out there, Shark Cage Adventure thrilling experience will give you an exhilarating underwater shark encounter. Pop on a wetsuit and some snorkel gear and dive into the water inside the cage that is a high-tech combination of mesh and perspex, that allows you to get up close and personal with Sand Tiger and Wobbegong sharks, stingrays and many colourful fish that are native to the waters of New Zealand. The best part, there’s no dive experience required!
PENGUIN ENCOUNTER
Who doesn’t love penguins? So, what better gift to give than a once in a lifetime penguin encounter with our sub-Antarctic penguin colony. Getting so close to majestic King and cheeky Gentoo penguins is a rare opportunity, short of actually going to the Antarctic to see them in the wild. For this experience you will be rugged up in sub-Antarctic snow gear to keep you warm when you head out onto the ice to meet them and watch them waddle and play right in front of you. You will also have an exclusive behind the scenes tour where you will see what it takes to maintain this incredible habitat.
